The little details...

I am happy to be taking an online "Christmas class" from my friend, Sarah Bowen. She has an eye for details and for the simple 'good' stuff in life. I was just getting started on making some gift tags that I will be sharing and showing how to make at a women's event at my church later this week. {I will be speaking too...so I have lots to do between now and then! Wish me luck.}Anyway, I thought it was neat that Sarah's inspiration and idea for cards was to use a little tree. I had already started cutting my paper scraps into triangles. Funny how similar our ideas were at the same time. =)I love details. I love making handmade extras that just show a bit more thought and add a special touch- perfect for gifts this time of year. I hung the tags on one of our trees for now...but I'm thinking they would be cute all over as ornaments too! Hope you have fun adding special little touches and details to your projects and gifts the next few weeks. I love keeping it simple too.That way you get to do/share more things!

ABOUT THIS BLOG-
You have stumbled upon a link to the daily musings of my crazy life. I say crazy because things happen to me that probably don't happen to you that often- or even ever. I will write candidly about these events in hopes to learn from them, teach you about them, or just to document that they actually happened. It could be anything...but I promise to keep it real!

About Me

Hi. I am a wife and mother of 7- six of them are at home and underfoot, one is in Heaven and they have all captured my heart! I am 42, but feel like I have lived through more than some people do in a lifetime. I have definitely had some rough spots...but have challenged myself to not let those events consume or define me. I try to look at life in a positive light...and most often that means I look to God for the strength to do so. He is the source of my joy and happiness in life- even in the midst of chaos at times. Ultimately I hope to live a life that inspires or challenges other people to be their best. Kind of like a "white Oprah." I mean that with deep respect.
